The forever broke Singaporean guide to healthy eating

As Singaporeans, our job is to eat, eat, and eat all day everyday! There’s so much food marketing around us and oftentimes healthy food markets itself as expensive. But it’s soooo not true healthy food is expensive. Want healthy food at $5 or less? Let me show you how.

If you think eating healthy looks like the picture, you’re right and wrong at the same time. Veggies and meat, sure that’s healthy but this is why people think that healthy eating is expensive – I mean, look at all these fancy looking, $15 dishes.

A balanced meal is made up of 50% veggies, 25% lean meat and 25% high fibre grains like brown rice, wholemeal bread or quinoa. So it doesn’t matter what kind of food you get, as long as you have this variety, you’re already eating healthy! Ah but don’t go deep frying everything 😉

I personally often have food from the economical rice because I’ll get to choose brown rice, greens, and meat. On other days I have fish soup and the $4.99 awesome salad at cold storage. If that’s not what you like, how about these healthier options?
